Some Cherry Corals photo's

[PoonTang]

Is it just me or do the backgrounds seem a little to brilliant? perhaps someone has photoshop'd the colours a bit too much?

[cherrycorals]

Errrrrr, the backgrounds are brown algea. Coraline is purple, white looks......well, WHITE!

You have no clue what you are talking about.

But for reference I am running all ATI blue plus and I take a wicked photo.

Thats what the thread is about BTW, wicked photo's. Clearly I am not selling anything, I am after all in the U.S.A. and I don't send goodies to Canada.

Thank you for your input!

[cherrycorals]

Oh, to sum up, its just you.

[cherrycorals]

More corals that are seemingly to brilliant!



Sorry about the purple coraline in that last one, I tried to make it look photoshopped but I just couldn't.

A different Magicians frag

Red Hornets

Skyhigh's

Nice Wellso(there is pink foam under this tank, so don't think I photoshopped the bottom of the tank)

This is called Pink Boobies, no clue who named it or why.

Mary Janes

The one on the right is called Space Monsters(again, no clue why)

Nice Corals Todd, really wish we had them up here to sell.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Todd and seeing first hand his corals at a trade show down in the states and I can say that the photos pretty much reflect what they look like in real life under his lighting conditions.

Whether he uses PS or not is irrelevant in my opinion as he is here posting for us to enjoy. Shooting photos in a closed system under various degrees of lighting is very difficult and I'm sure Todd is not here to mislead anyone. I've seen other photos (RR) that the whites (ie egg crate) look purple as well as their fingers looking purple but Todd's white balance looks good IMO.

He could be shooting his images in RAW and adjusting for white balance post edit, but again; I've seen his corals in person and they are very impressive.

Todd has a great reputation for his corals in the States, and he wouldn't be known for it if he was "over marketing" his corals by using PS.

Nice pics Todd, keep em coming.

Cheers

I think the acid is wearing off, these "candy apples" don't look the same!



Quickly, someone shoot lightning bolts at it! <lightning bolt sound>



Phew, close one. Almost saved my self a couple hundred bucks.

Good thing I have a clue about what I'm talking about. I'm talking lightning and cherries people. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I love what you can do with some actinic lighting and careful use of the "colour saturation" slider in photoshop.
